The parents of 9-year-old pageant diva
Alana "Honey Boo Boo" Thompson have been in a long-term committed relationship, but
People reports that today's ceremony -- in which the couple exchanged vows of some kind -- may not have been an official wedding.

According to the invitation obtained by
TMZ -- which explicitly states the couple will "exchange marriage vows" -- the McIntyre, Georgia ceremony was a "taped event." Guests were warned not to record the ceremony themselves, but encouraged to dress in "full redneck attire."

Whether Mama June actually got hitched to Sugar Bear or not, look forward to the TV special coming soon (presumably) on TLC. And surely if it happens on reality TV, it can't be fake, right?
